Sunset Paradise

Great room, spacious and relaxed vibe. Good amenities for a short or long stay in paradise. Restaurant, 2 pools, friendly bar, friendly staff, and great beach access. Loved watching the sunset from the double hammocks. Will be recommending to all we meet.

Sunset Resort is very clean and staff are helpful. We enjoyed both swimming pools but the lagoon was too rough to swim there. We really liked the Anchorage Restaurant on site. There were excellent choices for vegetarians on the menu and the staff there were amazing. Our room was comfortable but only had a power socket on one side of the bed. In this day and age we found this very unusual. We also enjoyed the beautifully kept gardens. It wasn't too noisy but we could definitely hear the traffic on the main road behind the Resort. All in all a good experience but not a great one. Would probably stay again.
The main pool has a ramp for wheelchair access.
Rooms were clean and spacious.
The Anchorage restaurant is excellent.

Could not fault this beautiful resort, the facility was immaculate for cleaniness, the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The food was so fresh and yummy. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Some Kayaks for use in the lagoon would be really lovely if available.

Business in Cook Islands

The resort is nice and clean with a very good location. The people are very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. My only suggestion is that their hours at the front desk to be longer. The front desk didn't open up until 8:30 AM which was a problem for me because I was there on business and would leave every morning at 7:30 AM and not return until the front desk was closed again.

Loved the ease of being able step out onto the beach from our room. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with everything one would need. Staff were very helpful, accomodating and friendly. The only slight draw back was the very limited inclusive Tropical breakfast.

We really enjoyed our 2br apartment at Sunset. It was clean and well presented. The pools and gardens are really well kept. But we spent most of our time on the beach, snorkelling in the lagoon and watching the whales go by, amazing! Staff were also very helpful in booking activities and transfers.

Well appointed spacious 1 bedroom unit poolside with cooktop, cooking utensils etc. 2 aircon units with insect mesh on windows. Comfortable bed and housekeeping to a high standard as were the gardens and beachfront. Lovely friendly staff in both the Anchorage restaurant and Birdcage bar. Happy hours each afternoon for sundowners at the Birdcage was a real winner. $14 Pina Colada’s, $6 beers and daily cocktails of the day. Welcome to take with you to the Anchorage or beachfront. A small bakery across the road and takeaway further along towards the Brewery, all walkable. $8 fish or bbq chicken burgers. All takeaways very generous sized portions.

We loved our stay and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They took us to the hospital and picked us up when we needed antibiotics. A bottle of bubbles for my birthday and birthday wishes. The only reason not a 5 is our room was tucked away and always dark and next to the laundry. It was a nice tidy room. It was just the location. Other than that can not fault the place. The cocktails, the friends made, the snorkeling is amazing, and watching the sunset, magical. Watch out for the BCB cocktails they knock ya socks off. 😁
